About Me

I'm a born again Christian, married to a wonderful husband for 18 years. I have three children, and five grandchildren. I also have two step-daughters. We are empty nesters though, so in my spare time, I love to go to my little craft area and make cards. It is an addiction...
I've always had some kind of artistic craft going on in my life. Quilting, Counted cross stitch, scrapbooking, you name it. But when I purchased my first stamps, I knew it was something I could really love. It really grew after I was led to Splitcoaststampers, where I learned a lot about design, techniques and products to help my creativity! Now, I am totally addicted to Papertrey Ink. They have wonderful designers, and fabulous products. And, I've made some really nice blog friends too.

SAF2013 Tea Staining Techniques

Well, after a full day of working on fun new projects, I'm taking a little break to post a few of the card challenges for today's Stamp-a-Faire. The first one if the Tea Staining Tea Staining Techniques, so I was glad when we were advised to go ahead and get our fabric ready last night. I loved how "earthy" it turned out!

I used my Frilly Flowers set, stamping with Kraft, Fine Linen and Spring Moss. The card base is Spring Moss, and I used the Background Basics Postmarks to add a little interest I also added the Vine Border die, since my stamping partner for the day, Amanda, just happened to have it to share! I've also added a few burlap leaves, a cork button die cut, and a sewed all the layers together with twine. Yep, going to do more of these! Thanks Melis!
